READERS’ MAIL
“The articles you have
brought out in Apr.-June 99 issue are scholastic and enjoyable”
- K.
Lakshminarayana, Pathapatnam
“The latest issue of
Triveni (68/2) is a
compendium of scholarly writings awakening the consciousness of its readers to
a new awareness. This journal is touching new heights under your discerning
editorship.”
-Dr D. C. Chembial, Maranda
“The article, “An
Arrival auspicious” published in your esteemed quarterly, is fine, exquisite,
and without a peer, dealing as it does, with the birth of Tathagata, the
Buddha, the Supremely Enlightened, the Master Incomparable, the teacher of Gods
and man, and the Saviour par excellence. Such priceless contributions enhance
the prestige of your illustrious periodical in an abounding measure.”
- R. Narayanaswami, Tirupati
“I have just gone
through the Editorial on Gandhi’s sense of Humour. You have brought to light
the unknown side of the Mahatma in a superb style. I am taking my flight to
Washington on 29.6.99. I am taking “Triveni” with me and I will show your
article to the NRI’s there, if possible taking copies and distributing them,
with an appeal to help the journal.”
-Dr. R. Janardana Rao, Machilipatnam
“I read your
editorial. I felt greatly delighted while reading through it. I could not but
laugh within my self at the humourous words of Gandhiji (quoted by you). He is
a karma yogi. Where serenity dwells joy is always present and from the
joyful heart comes forth humour. Very nice are all the articles full of rich
information and beauty.”
- B. Indirakumari, Anantapur
“The April-June part
of TRIVENI is received quite early. Almost all articles are informative and
interesting. As regards the article of Mr. K. Srinivasa Sastry, on Srinivasa
Iyengar, his reference to Emerson as one who defined a ‘gentleman’ is doubtful.
As far as I know, Cardinal Newman’s definition of a gentleman in his book. “The
ideal of a University” is famous. Srinivasa Iyengar comes within the definition
of ‘gentleman’.
-Dr C. Jacob, Narsapur
“I congratulate you on
the way you are bringing out the paper giving a standard fare of a high calibre
to readers. Your article on “The foundation of the Khalsa” by Prof. Hazara
Singh is very illuminating. It gives the reader a correct appreciation of what
Sikhism stands for and describes the contribution of Guru Gobind Singh to
promote inter-communal and national unity.”
-Dr G. Lakshmipathi, Hyderabad
“Of the forty one (not
thirty five) books he (Prof. Srinivasa Iyengar) wrote and the eleven books he
edited, over a dozen books deal with religion and spirituality or religious and
spiritual personalities; four books concern Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, not
to speak the numerous articles about them. He has rendered Sundarakanda, Shankaracharya’s
Atma Bodha, the vachanas of Basava. He paid homage to Guru Nanak
as well as Swami Viveknananda. Hopkins and Tagore are also writers treading the
via mystica. His poetical works include “Tryst with the Divine”... Even his
works on literary criticism draw heavily upon the insights of Sri Aurobindo and
the greatest tribute paid to Dr. KRS was by an adverse critic of a book of his
in the Madras Mail in 1953: “All roads to Dr. KRS lead to the Rome of Sri
Aurobindo”.
